Japanese Patent No. 3282574

  However, in the configuration of the conventional bread maker, after the steaming process of steaming the glutinous rice is started, the process of kneading the steamed glutinous rice is started in order to prevent it from being finished in a poorly finished rice cake that has become sticky. Before, it was necessary to open the lid and let the steam in the warehouse escape, and at the end of the steaming process, the buzzer sound, etc., alerted the user that the steaming process was completed, but this buzzer sound was mistaken for the completion notification Then, there was a user who accidentally pressed the cancel button and stopped cooking the candy without mind.

  In that case, the cooking of rice cake is stopped when the cancel button is pressed, so even if the start button is pressed after that, the bread maker cannot restart from the halfway process. Since it starts again from the beginning of the steaming process, the steaming process is repeated twice, it takes extra cooking time, and the finish of the rice cake is also steamed.

  Therefore, in order to make edible rice cake, it is necessary to replace the steamed glutinous rice with new glutinous rice and start again from the steaming process. It was. In addition, since the cancel button stops cooking when it is accepted, it is generally not accepted when it is touched accidentally and is accepted when it is pressed for 0.5 to 1 second. However, in the above case, since the misunderstanding that the candy was completed and the cancel button was intentionally pressed for a long time, the cooking was eventually stopped and the misoperation due to the misunderstanding could not be prevented.

  In addition, although the said subject demonstrated the example of rice cake cooking, it is the same also about cooking menus, such as bread other than rice cake, and if it cancels and pushes a cancellation button accidentally during cooking, cooking will be stopped, and cooking ingredients Cooking time was wasted. Further, the button to be pressed when redoing the operation or canceling cooking is expressed as cancel in the above-described conventional example, but this button may be displayed as “stop” or “stop”.

  Moreover, although there exist some which employ | adopted the rice cooking process which cooks glutinous rice with water instead of the said steaming process, even if it replaced the steaming process with the rice cooking process, there existed the same subject as the above.

  The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problems, and prevents cooking from being stopped in the middle of cooking even if the cancel button is accidentally pressed for a long time during cooking.

An inner lid 20 that opens and closes 16b and a packing 21 attached to the outer periphery of the inner lid 20 are provided. The lid | cover 29 is comprised from these components.

  The main body 1 is provided with an operation member 22 for selecting a menu, starting cooking, etc., a handle 23 for carrying the main body 1, and a power cord 25 having a plug 24 at the tip. Based on the temperature information detected by the temperature detector 8, the energization of the motor 3 for rotating the kneading blade 9, the heater 7 for heating the cooking material, the solenoid (not shown) for opening the opening / closing plate 18, etc. is controlled. In addition, a control device 26 is provided as a control means for automatically performing cooking processes such as kneading, kneading, fermentation, degassing and baking. Further, the operation member 22 is provided with a start button 27 for starting cooking, a cancel button 28 for redoing the operation, stopping cooking and keeping warm, and a plurality of buttons 30 for selecting a menu, setting a timer, and the like. Has been.

  The control device 26 includes, in addition to cooking control means, storage means (not shown) for storing voice guide data for explaining an operation method and the like, and voice generation means including a speaker for outputting the voice guide by voice. (Not shown) and control means for controlling the operation of the bread making process and the sound generating means, and depending on the selected menu, a set of cooking materials and parts required before starting cooking, or on the operation member 22 A voice guide is output for the operation method of the button 30 and the like.

  During cooking of the bowl, the cancel button 28 must be pressed twice within 5 minutes in all the steps so that cooking cannot be stopped. When the cancel button 28 is pressed once during cooking of the bowl, the voice As a guide, “If the cancel button is pressed for a long time, cooking is stopped” is output, and if the second long press is performed on the cancel button 28, the program of the control device 26 is set so as to stop the cooking. Yes.

  In the above embodiment, in order to stop the cooking of the firewood, it is necessary to press and hold the cancel button 28 twice within 5 minutes in all steps of the firewood cooking. Kneading the cooked glutinous rice with the kneading blade 9 after the rice cooking process of cooking glutinous rice with water, which is easy for the user to mistakenly press the cancel button 28 because it is not the whole process of cooking rice. The time may be limited to the start of the attachment process.

  In the above embodiment, cooking is not stopped unless the cancel button 28 is pressed twice within 5 minutes, but 5 minutes may be 3 minutes or 1 minute. In short, it may be set to a time when it can be determined that the cancel button 28 has been intentionally pressed twice. This is because, when it is desired to stop cooking intentionally, it is considered that the user does not bother pressing the cancel button 28 twice for a long time.

  Regarding the bread maker configured as described above, the operation and action when baking raisin bread will be described below.

  First, a bread container 6 containing cooking ingredients such as flour, sugar, salt, skim milk, butter and water is set on the container mounting base 5 in the baking chamber 4, the lid 29 is closed, and then the container lid 19 is opened and the yeast is opened. Are put in the yeast container 15 and the raisins are put in the lid container 16, respectively, and the container lid 19 is closed. Next, when the button 30 on the operation member 22 is pressed to select the raisin bread menu and the start button 27 is pressed, the kneading process of rotating the kneading blade 9 and kneading the cooking material starts.

  When the bread dough is formed, the kneading blade 9 stops and enters a neglecting process. During that time, the yeast is automatically charged via a solenoid (not shown), and then kneading starts again and the yeast is kneaded into the bread dough. The opening / closing plate 18 is opened via the solenoid, and the raisins are put into the bread container 6 and stirred into the bread dough.

  Thereafter, when the bread is baked through the steps of fermentation, degassing and baking, a buzzer and a voice guide are output to notify the user, and the user who recognizes the completion of cooking presses the cancel button 28 and takes out the bread. At this time, until the cancel button 28 is pressed, the heat retaining process is entered, and the energization of the heater 7 is continued while gradually decreasing the energization rate for one hour.

  Next, the operation and action when putting a bag will be described.

  The washed glutinous rice and water according to the amount of glutinous rice are put in the bread container 6 and set in the baking chamber 4, and the lid 29 is closed. Next, when the button 30 on the operation member 22 is pressed to select the rice cake menu and the start button 27 is pressed, the rice cooking process of cooking glutinous rice with water starts. After the glutinous rice is cooked and the rice cooking process is complete, before starting the kneading process of the cooked glutinous rice, it is necessary to open the lid 29 to secure the workmanship of the rice cake and let the steam in the baking chamber 4 escape. At the end of the rice cooking process, a buzzer sound and an audio guide are output to notify the user of the end of the rice cooking process.

  At this time, if the user accidentally presses the cancel button 28, the voice guide outputs “If the cancel button is pressed again for a long time, cooking is stopped”. After the notification of the end of the rice cooking process, when the user opens the lid 29 and presses the start button 27, the kneading process begins to knead the glutinous rice even if the kneading blade 9 rotates. Sound and voice guide are output to notify the user of the completion of cooking. The user who has recognized the completion of cooking presses the cancel button 28 and takes out the bowl.

  In the above embodiment, the rice cooking process is followed by the rice cooking process, but the rice cooking process may be replaced with a steaming process of steaming glutinous rice like a conventional rice kneading machine. If both the process and the steaming process are completed and the lid 29 is opened and the vapor in the baking chamber 4 is allowed to escape before starting the attaching process, a well-made soot can be produced. In addition, the cancel button 28 that is pressed when redoing the operation or canceling cooking is also displayed as “cancel” in the above embodiment, but this cancel button 28 displays “stop” or “cancel”. In short, it is only necessary to have an operation button having a function of performing the operation again or canceling the cooking.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, during cooking of rice cake, the cooking process cannot be stopped unless the cancel button 28 is pressed and held twice. Even if the user presses the cancel button 28 for a long time due to misunderstanding that the user's rice cake has risen in the middle of cooking, the cooking will not be stopped. Therefore, if the user opens the lid 29 and presses the start button 27, the kneading blade 9 rotates and the sticking process starts, and the hook can be raised. Therefore, even if it is operated incorrectly, the rice cake can be raised without wasting glutinous rice and cooking time.

  In addition, when the cancel button 28 is pressed and held once during cooking of the rice cake, if the cancel button 28 is pressed and held for another time, a message indicating that cooking will be stopped is output with a voice guide, and the cancel button 28 is displayed for the second time. Since the cooking is stopped when the button is pressed, even if the user accidentally presses the cancel button 28 for a long time, the cooking is not stopped halfway. Can be started, and can be raised without wasting materials and time.

  Furthermore, when the user wants to alert the user not to inadvertently press and hold the cancel button 28 again by the voice guide that is output when the cancel button 28 is pressed for a long time, and to intentionally stop cooking due to forgetting to put the ingredients, etc. Because it can also appeal the method, it is possible to prevent erroneous operation of the cancel button 28, and even if the user has forgotten the operation method of canceling the cooking of the firewood or does not read the instruction manual, he / she can listen to the voice guide. Thus, the operation method for canceling cooking can be understood, so that it is possible to easily and surely stop the cooking of rice cake when necessary.

  In the above embodiment, in order to stop the cooking of the rice cake, it is necessary to press the cancel button 28 twice long in all the steps of cooking the rice cake. Not the entire cooking process, but the appearance looks like the operation has stopped and cooking has been completed, and the user can easily misunderstand the cancel button 28 because it is finished. From the end of the rice cooking process or the steaming process until the start of the cooking process During this time, even if the cancel button 28 is pressed for a long time, cooking is not stopped halfway, and it is possible to prevent a failure to stop cooking unintentionally. If you want to stop cooking during a steaming process or a rice cooking process that is less likely to cause an erroneous operation of the cancel button 28, and notice that you have forgotten to add a material or an abnormal condition occurs, you can cancel cooking. 2 The order can be canceled readily and cooked immediately just by pressing one length, while achieving a failure prevention by erroneous operation, it is possible to achieve operability improved when you want to stop intentionally cooking.

(Embodiment 2)
Since the bread maker in the second embodiment of the present invention is the same as that in the first embodiment except for the program of the control device 26, the description of the configuration is omitted, and the difference from the first embodiment is as follows. The operation of the control device 26 will be described.

  The program of the control device 26 of the bread maker in the present embodiment is such that after the steaming process or the rice cooking process is completed during cooking of the rice cake, the long press of the cancel button 28 is continued until the sticking process starts. It is designed so that cooking cannot be stopped regardless of the number of times.

  Instead, if you press and hold the cancel button 28 during this time, the voice guide will output “Press the start button, and if you press and hold the cancel button after starting the attachment process, cooking will stop”, and after pressing the start button 27 The program of the control device 26 is set to stop cooking when the cancel button 28 is pressed and held.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, after the steaming process or the rice cooking process is finished, cooking is not stopped even if the cancel button 28 is pressed and held until the sticking process is started. If the user misunderstands that the cancel button 28 is easy to press, the cooking process will not be interrupted during the steaming process or the rice cooking process and the sticking process, no matter how long the user presses the cancel button 28. Thus, it is possible to reliably prevent cooking from being interrupted due to a user's erroneous operation. On the other hand, during this time, power is supplied, but since the operation is apparently stopped, no abnormality occurs, and the bread container 6 can be easily removed even if you notice that you have forgotten to put in the material. There is no need to press the cancel button 28 to stop the cooking in progress, and there is no inconvenience or actual harm to the user.

  Also, if the cancel button 28 is pressed for a long time between the end of the steaming process or the rice cooking process and the start of the sticking process, a voice guide will output that cooking will be stopped if the cancel button 28 is pressed for a long time after the start of the sticking process Thus, when the cancel button 28 is pressed and held for a long time, the cooking stop method is output with a voice guide while reliably preventing the cooking from being stopped. It is possible to promote the operation method at any time.

  According to this voice guide, once the start button 27 is pressed and the cancel button 28 is pressed for a long time after starting the sticking process, the cooking is stopped. In this case, even a user who does not know the operation method or does not read the instruction manual can easily and immediately stop cooking by listening to the audio guide.

  In addition, although Embodiment 1 and 2 have been described by taking rice cake cooking as an example, the present invention is not limited to rice cake cooking, and can be applied to various cooking menus other than rice cake, and similar effects can be obtained. It is what

  In addition, the contents of the voice guides shown in the first and second embodiments are examples, and even if the expression method is different, if the operation method that can stop cooking is output in an easy-to-understand manner for the same purpose, the instruction manual Needless to say, you can operate correctly and reliably without reading.

  As described above, the bread maker according to the present invention prevents cooking from being stopped halfway even if the cancel button is accidentally pressed for a long time during cooking. Since it is possible to prevent wastefulness, it is possible to apply to the use of the cancel button for erroneous operation, not only for rice cakes and bread, but also for other cooking menus and cooking appliances.
